I don’t believe that depicting Obama with a terrible mouth full of teeth and lies that are carried on the wings of death is at all far from the truth.

Barack Obama is the grand wizard of the parasite nations and directly organizes and mobilizes the Imperialist forces in the theft of life, labor and justice from all the world’s oppressed and exploited majority.

As Ganapathi has rightly noted, Obama is the new facelift of Imperialism — He is uniting the First World to resolve its inner contradictions steadfastly against the whole of the Third World, to exploit them more fully and utterly. Obama is the imperialist antagonist of Lin Biao’s ‘Long Live the Victory of People’s War!’, the unified culmination of soulless Imperialistic terror in an easy to swallow package for all the world’s sleeping minds who are busy dreaming American dreams.

MUMBAI, India – The two child stars of “Slumdog Millionaire” are at risk of losing their monthly stipend and their trust fund if they don’t attend school more regularly, a trustee for the fund said Thursday.

But these days, Azhar is only showing up at school 37 percent of the time, and Rubina has only a 27 percent attendance rate, the trustee said.

“It’s pathetic,” said Noshir Dadrawala, who helps administer the Jai Ho trust established by the filmmakers to provide an education, living allowance and housing for the young stars, who both grew up in Mumbai’s real-life shantytowns.

Azhar played the role of the young Salim, the main character whose childhood in Mumbai’s slums helps him win fortune and love through a TV quiz show as an adult. Rubina played the role of female lead Latika, as a child.

Dadrawala blamed the children’s busy schedule for their chronic truancy.

“They are constantly going to Paris and Cochin and Chennai,” he said. “That’s fine, but go over the weekend, not at the sacrifice of school.”

The children’s parents said the absences were due to deaths in the family and other problems and promised to get them to school from now on.

“Slumdog” director Danny Boyle and producer Christian Colson said in a statement that the children’s families “need to honor their part of the bargain.”

“We are disappointed that Azhar and Rubina’s school attendance remains patchy. We have urged both families to honor their commitment to ensure regular school attendance,” they said. The filmmakers were in Mumbai to discuss future film projects and charity work.

Dadrawala said the trust decided that if the children do not get their attendance above 70 percent they will lose their monthly stipend of about $120. If they fail to graduate, they will forfeit a lump sum payment set aside by the filmmakers to help the children, who grew up in one of Mumbai’s more wretched slums, get a start in life.

The filmmakers have declined to reveal the amount in the trust for fear of exposing the families to exploitation.

Azhar’s mother, Shameen Ismail, said her son had been truant over the past two months because he was inconsolable after his father died in September from tuberculosis.

“He would cry often, so I kept him home from school for a while,” she said.

She promised his attendance would improve.

“As long as I’m alive, I will make sure my son gets an education,” she said.

Rubina’s father, Rafiq Qureshi, said the girl was not in school because her slum shanty was destroyed(PAO Note: Destroyed by the government.) and she was cut on the leg by a piece of glass.

“It will not happen next time,” he said.

In July, Azhar moved out of a metal shack in the slums and into a $50,000 one-bedroom apartment that the filmmakers bought for his family in Mumbai.

Azhar’s father remained in the slum because, his mother said, he did drugs and she did not want him in the new home.

The trust was also searching for a house for Rubina’s family, but her father said the budget was not enough to cover the cost and he was hoping the state government could make up the difference.

The new homes are to be transferred to the children’s names after they turn 18 provided they graduate from high school.

Danny Boyle is quite literally worse than both Hitler and Himmler. Neither of these two fascists had the guts to witness the death and destruction of their actions first-hand. Himmler once vomited when a prisoner was executed in front of him.

Danny boy, on the other hand, walks through the slums of India like a rich man on a vacation, staring into the eyes of suffering and dying children and then chastizing them for not pulling themselves up by their bootstraps, dangling paltry sums like $120 over their heads (which is less than he spends on blow in an hour) and threatening them with death after they made him millions of dollars.

Death to Danny Boyle for inflicting economic violence on the lives of impovershed and destitute children.

Under a Joint Dictatorship of the Proletariat, Danny would be forced to make up for the harm and suffering he has inflicted on the lives of Third World children via forced labor. That’s a fairly kind alternative to the Maoist cadres in India just beheading this scumbag fuck like he deserves.

The Pentagon pays an average of $400 to put a gallon of fuel into a combat vehicle or aircraft in Afghanistan.

The statistic is likely to play into the escalating debate in Congress over the cost of a war that entered its ninth year last week.

Pentagon officials have told the House Appropriations Defense Subcommittee a gallon of fuel costs the military about $400 by the time it arrives in the remote locations in Afghanistan where U.S. troops operate.

“It is a number that we were not aware of and it is worrisome,” Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.), the chairman of the House Appropriations Defense panel, said in an interview with The Hill. “When I heard that figure from the Defense Department, we started looking into it.”

The Pentagon comptroller’s office provided the fuel statistic to the committee staff when it was asked for a breakdown of why every 1,000 troops deployed to Afghanistan costs $1 billion. The Obama administration uses this estimate in calculating the cost of sending more troops to Afghanistan.

The Obama administration is engaged in an internal debate over its future strategy in Afghanistan. Part of this debate concerns whether to increase the number of U.S. troops in that country.

The top U.S. general in Afghanistan, Stanley McChrystal, reportedly has requested that about 40,000 additional troops be sent.

Democrats in Congress are divided over whether to send more combat troops to stabilize Afghanistan in the face of waning public support for the war.

Any additional troops and operations likely will have to be paid for through a supplemental spending bill next year, something Murtha has said he already anticipates.

Afghanistan — with its lack of infrastructure, challenging geography and increased roadside bomb attacks — is a logistical nightmare for the U.S. military, according to congressional sources, and it is expensive to transport fuel and other supplies.

A landlocked country, Afghanistan has no seaports and a shortage of airports and navigable roads. The nearest port is in Karachi, Pakistan, where fuel for U.S. troops is shipped.

From there, commercial trucks transport the fuel through Pakistan and Afghanistan, sometimes changing carriers. Fuel is then transferred to storage locations in Afghanistan for movement within the country. Military transport is used to distribute fuel to forward operating bases. For many remote locations, this means fuel supplies must be provided by air.

One of the most expensive ways to supply fuel is by transporting it in bladders carried by helicopter; the amount that can be flown at one time can barely satisfy the need for fuel.

The cheapest way to transport fuel is usually by ship. Other reasonable methods to provide fuel are by rail and pipeline. The prices go up exponentially when aircraft are used, according to congressional sources.

The $400 per gallon reflects what in Pentagon parlance is known as the “fully burdened cost of fuel.”

“The fully burdened cost of fuel is a recognition that there are a lot of other factors that come into play,” said Mark Iden, the deputy director of operations at the Defense Energy Support Center (DESC), which provides fuel and energy to all U.S. military services worldwide.

The DESC provides one gallon of JP8 fuel, which is used for both aircraft and ground vehicles, at a standard price of $2.78, said Iden.

The Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James Conway, told a Navy Energy Forum this week that transporting fuel miles into Afghanistan and Iraq along risky and dangerous routes can raise the cost of a $1.04 gallon up to $400, according to Aviation Week which covered the forum.

“These are fairly major problems for us,” Conway said, according to the publication.

The fully burdened cost of fuel accounts for the cost of transporting it to where it is needed, said Kevin Geiss, program director for energy security in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations and Environment.

And moving fuel by convoy or even airlift is expensive, according to the Army news release from July 16, which quoted Geiss. In some places, Geiss said, analysts have estimated the fully burdened cost of fuel might even be as high as $1,000 per gallon.

Energy consumed by a combat vehicle may not even be for actual mobility of the vehicle, Geiss said, but instead to run the systems onboard the vehicle, including the communications equipment and the cooling systems to protect the electronics onboard.

Some 8o percent of U.S. military casualties in Afghanistan are due to improvised explosive devices, many of which are placed in the path of supply convoys — making it even more imperative to use aircraft for transportation.

According to a Government Accountability Office report published earlier this year, 44 trucks and 220,000 gallons of fuel were lost due to attacks or other events while delivering fuel to Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan in June 2008 alone.

High fuel demand, coupled with the volatility of fuel prices, also have significant implications for the Department of Defense’s operating costs, the GAO said. The fully burdened cost of fuel — that is, the total ownership cost of buying, moving and protecting fuel in systems during combat — has been reported to be many times higher than the price of a gallon of fuel itself, according to the report.The Marines in Afghanistan, for example, reportedly run through some 800,000 gallons of fuel a day. That reflects the logistical challenges of running the counterinsurgency operations but also the need for fuel during the extreme weather conditions in Afghanistan — hot summers and freezing winters.

With the military boosting the number of the all-terrain-mine resistant ambush-protected vehicles (M-ATVs) in Afghanistan meant to survive roadside bombs, the fuel consumption will likely rise even higher, since those vehicles are considered gas-guzzlers.

The Pentagon comptroller’s office did not return requests for comment by press time.

Im from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth,
Right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed,
From where police brutality’s not half as nice,
It makes the hood in America look like paradise,
Compared to the AIDS infested Caribbean slum,
African streets where the passports an American gun,
From where they massacre people and try to keep it quiet,
And spend the next 25 years tryna deny it,
Im from where they cut your hands off if you make a fist,
And niggaz grow coca cause the job market doesnt exist,
Except slave labour modern day company store,
And peacekeepers dont ever ever ever come here no more,
From where the bombs that they used to drop on Vietnam,
Still has children born deformed 8 months before they gone,
Im from where they lost the true meaning of the Qur’an,
Cause heroin is not compatible with Islam,
And niggaz know that but grow that poppy seed anyway,
Cause that food drop parachute does not come everyday,
Im from where people pray to the gods of they conquerors,
And practically every presidents a money launderer,
From where the only place democracy’s acceptable,
Is if Americas candidate is electable,
And they might even have a black president but hes useless,
Cause he does not control the economy stupid!

Lock and load your gun where im from the 3rd world son,
Been to many places but im 3rd world born,
Guerillas hit and run where im from the 3rd world son,
You polluted everything and now the 3rd worlds gone.
The water is poison where im from the 3rd world son,
700 children died by the end of this song,
Revolution’ll come where im from the 3rd world son,
Constant occupation leaves the 3rd world torn.

Im from where the Catholic church is some racist shit,
They helped Europe and America rape this bitch,
They pray to white Spanish Jesus whos face is this?
But never talk about the black pope Gelasius,
Im from where Soviet weapons still decide elections,
Militaries like the Mafia you pay for protection,
Catamite sex tours is what the country sells,
And rich white businessmen make the best clientèle,
Im from where they too pussy to come film Survivor,
And they murder Coca-Cola union organisers,
Im from where the justice system esta podrido,
Fuck government niggaz politic over perico,
Rebelde conocido, enterado vivo,
Como otro Argentino desaparecido,
Cause RICO laws dont apply to the CIA,
And motherfuckers make sneakers for a quarter a day,
Im from where they overthrow Democratic leaders,
Not for the people but for the Wall Street journal readers
From where blacks, indigenous peoples and Asians,
Were once slaves of the Caucasians,
And its amazing how they trained them,
To be racist against themselves in the place they was raised in,
You kept us caged in,
Destroyed our culture and said that you civilised us,
Raped our women and when we were born, you despised us,
Gentrified us, agent provocateur divide us,
And crucified every revolutionary messiah,
So imma start a global riot,
That not even your fake anti-Communist dictators can keep quiet,
Fuck your charity medicine tryna to murder me,
The immunisations you gave us were full of mercury,
So now I see the 3rd World like the rap game soldier,
Nationalise the industry and take it over.

Lock and load your gun where im from the 3rd world son,
